Comment.

The original description is based on a male from Jiangxi. The previously unknown female sexual characters are as follows: posterior margin of tergite VIII convex (Fig. 2A); sternite VIII (Fig. 2B) weakly transverse, posteriorly broadly convex; tergite IX (Fig. 2C) undivided anteriorly. The above record from Hunan represents a new province record. For illustrations of the habitus and the male sexual characters see Assing (2014: figures 12-16).
